How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewI had very good time at the hotel, the meals were delicious, the personnel is very nice and I highly recommend the SPA. The hotel after the renovation looks very nice. There is a big parking.
What made me not fully enjoy my stay was that the pool is not heated, heating at least the lower part would be a game changer. The second thing is that the waves near the shore are unbearable and because of that the water is muddy and it is simply ugly. On the nearby beaches there are breakwaters and the water is turquoise, there are no such big waves. If a breakwater appears I will come back to you :)
Dear Zofia, Thank you so much for your detailed and constructive feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had a very good time at Tamarina – especially that you appreciated the food, the newly renovated facilities, our spa and of course our team. It’s always rewarding to know that our efforts made your stay enjoyable. We truly value your comments regarding the pool and beach experience. While our natural and wild beachfront is part of what makes Tamarina unique, we understand how the wave conditions and absence of a breakwater may have affected your experience. Please rest assured that your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the management team for future improvements. We would love to welcome you back again and we hope that with time, we’ll be able to make your next stay even more perfect. Warm regards, Howard Collinson Hotel Manager

Verified reviewMy fiancee and I took our moms there for the weekend and they absolutely loved it, especially the food. The views are stunning, the sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep, it was just the getaway we needed.
It's wasps season I suppose, there were so many of them! :)
Dear Veda, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you, your fiancée, and both your moms had such a special time with us. It’s a joy to know that the food, the views, and the peaceful sound of the ocean made your stay so memorable. We also appreciate your kind understanding about the wasps — they do tend to make a seasonal appearance, and we’re actively working on natural ways to keep them at bay without impacting the environment. We hope to welcome you all back again soon for another restful beachfront escape. Warm regards, Howard Collinson Hotel Manager

Verified reviewThe place is stunning, if you want a private and relaxing place this is the perfect one. There is no noise and the relatively small size of the structure will allow you to enjoy your holiday at the most.
Despite being very delicious, a little more variety during dinner might be appreciated, as the food was very similar from one day to the other.
Dear Francesca, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We are delighted to hear that you found our place stunning and enjoyed the privacy and tranquility we offer.

Verified reviewThe service and friendliness of staff was great, especially when we needed an early dinner for my son. They would happily cater for him an hour prior to the restaurant opening. The room was spacious and the views of the beach from our room was spectacular.
There was only one evening I was very disappointed with. An event was organised on the second night of our trip and this clashed with attending the restaurant for dinner. There was a lack of seating prior to dinner (as mentioned my son who is 2 has his dinner early) so this affected us but also it didn't feel like there was any attention provided to paying hotel guests. Prior communication for this would be appreciated and also to ensure organisation of the restaurant so you can cater for both your event guests and hotel guests.
Dear SabBu, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you appreciated the service and friendliness of our staff, as well as the room and views.
